BIPSS Issue Brief, August, 2011 edition has just been published. The Issue
Brief focuses on human trafficking, one of the looming security threats for
Bangladesh. It highlights the challenges and implications of human trafficking
from both human and national security dimensions.
Trafficking in persons, the darkest episode of population mobility, has been widely considered as a major human security issue today. Increasingly, people from the poor families are being forced to this new form of human slavery and the trade of human dignity. In Bangladesh, human trafficking has gone to an acute condition. Governments, though endowed huge effort, failed evidently to control the trafficking in persons in the country. The complicity of the government with the trafficking nexus has added much doubt whether the government is abundantly willing to address the issue, while the US Department of state included Bangladesh in its trafficking watchlist in the 2 tier ranking that poses of the threat of sanctions upon Bangladesh, if the country fails to improve the trafficking condition by next year.
